Optimum temperature and humidity

Wine will continue to mature depending on the surrounding conditions. The length of time which wine can be kept in good condition will therefore depend not only on the temperature but also on the air quality.

Temperature

Wine can be stored at a temperature between 5°C and 18°C (41°F - 64°F). The optimum temperature is approx.

10-12°C (50°F - 54°F). Most white wines are palatable at this temperature. It is best to take red wine out of the appliance about two hours before drinking. Open the wine to allow it to breathe so the aroma can develop. After two hours, red wine will be at the correct temperature for drinking.

If wine is stored at a temperature above 22°C (72°F) it will mature too quickly. By contrast, wine should not be stored below 5°C (41°F) for a long period of time, as it will not mature fully at this low temperature.

Fluctuations in temperature put wine under stress and interrupt the maturing process. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a constant temperature.

Safety features

A thermostat in the wine cooler prevents the temperature from falling too low. Internal heating automatically switches on as needed, to keep the temperature inside as constant as possible.

Isolation shelf for thermal separation

The appliance has a fixed isolation shelf, which divides the cabinet into two zones. The temperature for each zone can be set separately, so that different wines (red and white) can be stored at their ideal temperature.

Setting the temperature

The temperatures are set using the two buttons under the temperature displays.

Press the

+button: to set the temperature warmer

- button: to set the temperature colder

The temperature being set will flash in the display.

When pressing the buttons, the following information appears in the display:

–When first pressed, the last temperature selected flashes.

–Each subsequent press of the button adjusts the temperature shown in

1 °C increments.

–Holding the button adjusts the temperature continually.
